Today I have a fun craft to do with your left over Valentines Day Heart Shaped Box.  I’m going to show you how to make a Fish out of a Heart Valentines Day Box.   This craft is not only a lot of fun, but it is a great way to recycle those used Valentines Day Boxes…. so you don’t have to just throw them away.   And, the fish not only turns out totally cute, it also gives you a secret storage box to store your small secret things in.  Now, that is fun!!  So, grab the materials needed and let’s get started.

Dot glue all over the rest of heart.

Layer circles on top of box and on top of each other.

Until it looks like this.

 

Step 8

Use a lid or bowl to trace a big circle on white foam.

Trace a smaller circle on black craft foam.

Cut out 2 small white circles and glue together like this.

Glue eye on fish face.

Draw a heart with a rectangle on left….. do this on a paper plate.

Bend and glue rectangle on to side of heart box furthest from lips.
